permitted to touch at Canadian reports to
ship crews and purchase bait, and for any
other purpose but not to fish within the

wood, water, supplies and repairs. Prob.
ably there will be some compromise on
these points.

Destructive Cloud Burst,

At Oberlin, Ohio, Sunday afternoon the
9Th, during thunder storm which swept
over tho northern part OF the state, much
damage was done by coudburst, or
"terspout. When the storm was at it's
..cl.ht an immense volume OF water came
down suddenly, swelling to raging tor

town. The stream rose several feet within
few minutes, flooding streets, fill

One house was floated from its foundation,

the exact amount OF damage, but it will
probably be $4,000 or $4,000.

O'Brien Could Not Swallow George and McGlynr

jected to the gentleman who was to preside
at the meeting, and did not approve OF
tho resolutions prepared by the COM

change the resolutions till it was
too late and the chairman refused
to resign. Hence Mr.. O'Bricn did not at

There were about ten thousand paradcrs.
John McNlackin, the presiding officer to
whom Mr.. O'Brien objected, is the chair
man OF the united labor party OF this city.
The objection to him was that he presided
at meeting a few days ago ut which p J..
lyman (No. y spoke. One specific cause
OF the trouble was that the labor people
insisted that the cause ofRev. Dr. McGlynn
should be appropriately introduced into
the resolutions to be adopted at the Union
Square meeting, and that Henry Georges
land theories should also he advocated.
When O'Brien looked through the resolu-
lions he erased the McGlynn and Georges
land theory topics, especially that which
spoke OF the persecution Of McGlynn.

How5a vintage war Arose

I heard strange story yesterday.
1t seems that family living in sub
urban town, being atputYto 60 away
for month, and wishing to put their
silver where it would be secure from
Burglars, obtained permission to store
it in closet adjoining the library of
q neighbours house IN NOE RnV
The neighbours family consisted. of
himself, several children, including
one son who had the reputation of a
fast youth, and three or four servants.
In due time the owner of the silver
returned, and, sending for the box
containing it, prepared, the table for
supper, and found to their surprise
and horror that a small tea service
was missing Y r - y
The situation was a delicate one,
and the matter was broken gently to
the custodian of the silver. Inquiries
were set on foot, questions were asked
of the servants in the neighbours
house, incautious remarks were made
by the owners of the silver; it seemed
clear that.it had been stolen, and sus-
picion was naturally cast upon. almost
everybody in the house whence it. had
Finally the servants became incens-
ed at what they asserted to be insult
ing Investigations, and they left the
honsein body. Vino 2ffWBy.l
Very shortly after It began to be
whispered around that the dissipated
son was the guilty person. This COM
ing to the ears of the father led to vio-
lent words and the suspension of al
intercourse between the two families.
The gossips in the town talked of
nothingelse. Everybody. took, sides.
The matter got into the. church which
both parties attended, and, in short,
the entire community was on theverge
of civil war, when, in fortunate
moment, the missing silver was dis
covered I'm drawer, where it had
been put away with great care some
months before by the mistress of the
house. The affair was thus explained,
but the wounds that will require years
to heal have been inflicted. -Boston
